THE family of a desperately ill six-year-old riddled with cancerous tumours last night revealed their heartache after he told them he was being bullied at school.

Little Connah Broom has now been taken out of Ysgol Gronant where his family say he was kicked in the stomach and urinated on by fellow pupils.

Last night, his grandmother Debbie Broom spoke of the family’s anguish after finding out their “little timebomb” was carrying an extra burden.

Connah from Gronant, near Prestatyn, suffers from neuroblastoma – a rare form of child cancer affecting almost his entire body.

Nearly six months ago, he confided in his home tutor telling her he had been kicked, punched and “wee-d on” during his two-hours-a-day school sessions.

Two months ago, Connah’s grandad Jim lodged an official written complaint with the school detailing incidents where boys urinated in Connah’s hands, elbowed him and kicked him in the stomach and prostate.

Now the family say they are happy the school is dealing with their concerns, but have taken the decision to move Connah to Bodnant Infants School, where he will start Year 2 afresh in September.

“We had problems getting Connah into full time education,” said Debbie. “There was no reason why he couldn’t attend classes but we had difficulties getting the school to understand.

“Connah only went to school for a couple of hours a day but it had an impact on his bond with the other children and some saw him as an outsider.

She added: “It was heartbreaking when we found out what he was going through on top of everything else. We want to fill his life with as much love, happiness and laughter as possible because he really is like a little timebomb.”

Doctors say Connah, who lives with his dad and grandparents, is in the “honeymoon period” of his disease. He was diagnosed with the most severe high risk form of the cancer two years ago.

Gruelling full body radiation linked with chemotherapy treatments are only considered “last resort” options by Connah’s doting family, who have already travelled to America and are now embarking on another trip overseas.

“We want to get Connah scanned again so we know how bad the cancer is,” said Debbie.

“He has tumours from his knees up to his neck but you wouldn’t think so to look at him – he’s a tornado of energy.

“They won’t scan him here so we might go to America or Poland so we can have an idea of how bad his tumours are. But while he is active and well, we will keep him on his organic foods and supplements.”

Connah’s well-wishers have already donated thousands through his blog website connahsappeal.co.uk and many other fundraising activities.

Debbie said: “Connah’s website is full of his achievements, he is not letting the cancer take over him, he is enjoying his life and we are so proud of him.

“Without thinking, we put pictures of Connah and his friends at the school sports day but would like to apologise to the parents who were offended and let them know they have now been removed.

“Connah is very excited to be starting Bodnant in September where he will go full time. We are holding a huge party for Connah’s birthday in November – it is going to be a big celebration of his life.”

A Flintshire council spokesman said: “It is not council policy to comment on individual cases.”
